COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 9, 2012-- Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a leading developer and provider of nutritional supplements and skin care products based on Real Food Technology® solutions, today reported a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the first quarter ending March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2012 were $44.5 million, a decrease of 12.6% compared to $50.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net sales for the United States and Canada declined 15.5% to $22.3 million compared to $26.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. International net sales of $22.2 million decreased 9.4% compared to $24.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Recruiting increased 11.4% as compared to the first quarter 2011. New independent associates and members for the first quarter of 2012 were 21,659 compared to 19,435 in 2011. Total independent associates and members based on a 12-month trailing period were approximately 372,000 as of March 31, 2012, compared to 392,000 as of March 31, 2011.

Dr. Robert Sinnott, CEO & Chief Science Officer, commented, “The energy of our field is evident as both the new associates and members for the first quarter of 2012 surpassed prior year first quarter recruitment. In April of 2012, we had an excellent MannaFestSM event where NutriVerus™ powder, our newest product, and Navig8, our global recruitment and sales system, were introduced with great acceptance by our associates. On May 1, 2012, we launched our 4Free Discount Program initiative which provides Members the opportunity to obtain future discounts on product purchases. We believe these core initiatives will produce strong financial results in future quarters.”
